DECEMBER 15, 2003 - Monday Night RAW

Eight men remain in the Intercontinental Title tournament, but when the dust settles tonight, we will be down to four! Also, the World Tag Team Titles are on the line, plus the contract signing for The Rock versus Triple H at Armageddon!

The evening starts with Evolution's Animal Batista taking on Tommy Dreamer. Batista starts with strikes, but Tommy responds with a couple of slams. Batista hits a big clothesline and a DDT for two. Discus punch gets two more. Tommy ducks a clothesline and clamps on a full nelson, but Batista kicks him away and plants him with a Batista Bomb for the win.

The Dudley Boyz are out next to once again defend the World Tag Team Titles, this time in a triple threat against Scott Steiner and Test and La Resistance's Dupree and Grenier. Bubba and Steiner start, with Bubba taking control. Grenier tags in and continues the offense on Steiner until Steiner tags in Test. Test and Steiner hit a double suplex and Grenier tags in Dupree. Dupree kicks and DDTs Test, who then tags D-Von in. Dupree strikes D-Von, but D-Von slides out of an arm wringer and hits his lifting reverse DDT to retain the belts.

Backstage, Val Venis is again walking alone. He can definitely tell he's being watched. Suddenly, someone dressed all in black jumps out from behind some crates and drags him off-camera. We hear a loud crack, then footsteps running away. The camera finally catches up to Val, and he's laid out with a monkey wrench laying next to him.

Last week, Kane suffered a disappointing loss to his rival Goldberg, but he looks to bounce back against Booker T. Kane starts off with a slam, a Death Valley Driver, and a spear for two. A big slam gets two more. Booker clotheslines Kane and slams him, but Kane fights out of a piledriver and plants him with a Tombstone for the win.

Last week, the new Women's Champion Victoria came to Trish Stratus' aid as she was being pummeled by Gail Kim. That sets up tonight's tag team action pitting Trish and Victoria against Gail and Molly Holly. Trish and Molly start off, and Molly hits an armdrag and a missile dropkick for two. Gail tags in, and they hit a Hart Attack for two. Gail chops Trish, but Trish DDTs Gail and tags in the champ. Victoria slams Gail and hits her with a pieldriver. Gail tags in Molly, who hits a flying elbow and an enzuigiri for two. Victoria hits a DDT, then the Widow's Peak for the win.

Shawn Michaels is one of the odds-on favorites to win the Intercontinental Title tournament, as he was on the verge so many times of taking the belt from Randy Orton before Orton's neck injury forced him to vacate it. Rico, on the other hand, is this tournament's Cinderella story, having stopped the roll of Mark Jindrak and picking up a victory over his rival Val Venis to get this far. The winner goes on to next week's semifinals! HBK starts with punches, but Rico responds with a back heel kick and a Whippersnapper. HBK hits a legsweep and a bulldog for two, then a big kick to the face for two more. He goes for a splash, but Rico gets his knees up, then lands a bulldog for two. Back on their feet, HBK hits Sweet Chin Music out of nowhere to pick up the win and advance to the Final Four.

Unfortunately, the crowd was so pumped from that match that they kind of shat (rightfully so) on Chris Jericho versus Goldberg. Kane takes Goldberg out with a chair, which lets Y2J pick up the win and a slot in the semifinals, but afterwards Goldberg launches Kane out of the ring.

Christian is backstage, preparing for his match with Rob Van Dam, but first he wants to address Shawn Michaels. Shawn, so much of what you've had over the last decade has been handed to you. And this tournament is no exception. You almost get lucky enough to beat Randy Orton once or twice, and that's enough to earn you a bye? Then in the second round, you get bailed out against Triple H by your buddy The Rock. And now tonight, you get a cake walk against Rico. Meanwhile, I've had to earn everything that's come my way. And when I beat RVD next, I can't wait until next week when I can finally show you what it's like to earn something. 'Cause that's how I roll.

RVD starts the match with strikes, then a massive spinning kick, then another kick to the face and a dropkick. He misses a legdrop, though, and Christian capitalizes with a powerbomb for two. RVD hits a spinning bulldg for two, then a top-rope DDT for two more. They exchange punches, then RVD legsweeps Christian to set up the Five-Star Frogsplash! RVD advances!

Over the last couple of months, few matches have brought as much excitement as the series between Hurricane and Matt Hardy Version 1.0. The rivals lock it up again tonight in a quarterfinal match. Hurricane starts off with a slam, but Matt hits a back heel kick and a legsweep for two. Cool suplex for two more. Another legsweep, but Hurricane fights out of a suplex and lands a super Frankensteiner for two. Springboard dropkick for two more. Slam by Hurricane, then a high dropkick. Matt ducks under a clothesline, then hits an axe handle from the second rope. Face crusher sets up the Twist of Fate, and Matt Hardy is going to the semifinals!

The ring has been cleared for the contract signing for the World Title match at Armageddon. Triple H once again tells The Rock that he can have his choice of match, but Rock leaves the stipulation line blank, keeping the challenger in anticipation. Both men sign the contract, then Triple H literally turns the tables on his rival and hits the Pedigree!

Next week, it's the semifinals of the Intercontinental Title tournament! Rob Van Dam versus Shawn Michaels! Chris Jericho versus Matt Hardy! The winners go to Armageddon to battle for the vacant belt. Plus, Goldberg and Kane's feud has gone too far, and now RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff has set up a match for next week that is guaranteed to end it. In a Royal Rumble qualifying match, it will be Goldberg versus Kane in an I Quit match! The winner goes on to the Rumble, the loser literally quits World Wrestling Entertainment! Also, three more slots in the Royal Rumble match will be determined in qualifying matches. Just one more RAW before Armageddon, and anything can still happen!
